Panelists:

1. Chris Raney

Chris, creator of Yellow Productions, got started making online travel videos in 2004 to share with his family and friends, but shortly thereafter took his videos to YouTube in 2008. Since then, Chris spends hours every week researching & shooting informative videos to allow curious travelers to make informed decisions about where to go, where to stay, what to eat and what to do in a destination. His ability to be as detailed and informative as possible, along with his passion for traveling in Asia, has his audience referring to him as the “Rick Steves of Asia.”

2. Marina Iakovleva

Marina created the popular YouTube channel Dating Beyond Borders with over 650k subscribers.

3. Juliana & Martin Gomez

Juliana, from the USA, and Martin, from Mexico, are a multicultural duo passionate about cultural immersion. They’ve been exploring the world together since meeting on cruise ships in 2016, and they run the bilingual travel brand Tourist to Local and Bitácora de Viajero. Their mission is to explore every state in each other’s countries while diving deep into global cultures.

With a unique twist, they post weekly travel videos in both English and Spanish, allowing them to connect with two completely different audiences. Their content strikes a balance between the tourist and local sides of each destination, offering viewers an authentic, enriching travel experience.
